Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Never been happier to not own any smart home devices. I see the point of having the Bluetooth alarms for like a washer and an oven but just be on the same floor as the oven and time out when the loads are done. Eventually you just get with it.

My toaster, air fryer, microwave, espresso machine and electric kettle. None of them are connected to wifi or Bluetooth. I think my ice maker has connectivity abilities but isn't set up. I think the only thing I have that's set up for being wireless and smart is the computers and my printer.

So I guess I'll just bill the data centers for ink if iit starts printing random shit.

More fear tactics from the creators. Why would Anthropic warn us on stuff that would hurt the integrity of their product right before their IPO? They wouldn’t unless it benefited them.

They want government regulations in place not to protect us. They want them to slow down any future competition to help monopolize the market.

Meanwhile getting an AI to run on an AMD GPU is still a PITA. Yea but sure I guess it can run on my router...

Naaah. This is how they sell upgraded versions to the fools that are dumb enough to use it to begin with. Anyone with a brain has nothing to worry about.

Building a moat through fearmongering so you all beg for regulation.

But money....and.power...sssssstop..?

That’s not how these things work. They can’t magically spread without compute and shitty instructions don’t activate themselves without compute.

I think all this dangerous nonsense is just a way of driving up stock prices. Because "dangerous" = "powerful" = money. Can't think of any other reason they'd repeatedly be publicly declaring this shit.
